The Oakland Raiders have a contract agreement "basically" in place with Jon Gruden and, barring any last-minute snags, likely are to formally introduce him as their coach early next week, according to a person familiar with the deliberations.
The deal is expected to be worth as much as $10 million per season and could be as long as 10 years, according to that person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
Gruden, 54, is set to return to coaching after an absence of nearly a decade. He last coached in the NFL in the 2008 season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
